Waterside dinning in the heart of the city.

Cyren is located in Sydney’s Darling Harbour along the waters edge. The Restaurant has been there for many years and for good reason! The food is beautiful and their signature cocktails and mocktails are different and refreshing. The restaurant is a part of Nick’s Restaurant and Bar Group and like Nick’s restaurant the seafood is a must.

First Crush & Pineapple and Coconut Margarita

They have a bar menu and an A LaCarte to choose from depending on the type of meal you want to have. Their a La Carte menu which is what I ordered off is varied and caters for everyone and quite possibly every taste. Their crumbed Calamari is fresh and tasty (no stringy bits) and makes a great starter or even a nice meze to accompany your Pineapple and Coconut Margarita which is absolutely divine, or if you’re not wanting a cocktail they have a selection of wine and beers. If alcohol is not your preferred choice of drink try their ‘First Crush’ mocktail a simply refreshing drink made with lychee, strawberry, lime and raspberries.

Local Black Mussels in tomato sauce

Seafood Risotto

Fisherman’s Basket

They have a pretty decent selection of mains to choose from ranging from pizzas to seafood. Since they are known for their seafood, well, the choice for me was obvious. I had the Local Black Mussels in a spicy tomato sauce and served with sourdough bread (ask for extra bread because the sauce is yummy), the mussels were fresh and a good size (being sourced from the Sydney Fish Markets around the corner you wouldn’t expect any less). Other options include the Fisherman’s Basket, Barramundi and Seafood Risotto.

The restaurant is open from breakfast (Thursday to Sunday), lunch and dinner (all other days) and closes late. The atmosphere is casual so you can walk in with thongs and shorts (which is probably what you’re wearing on a summers day). They also have happy hour from 3pm-6pm everyday!

I’m sure whatever you decide to order off their menu you’ll be impressed.
